Honda NSX now available as DLC for Forza Horizon 3

The Acura NSX has been named Road & Track 2017 Performance Car of the Year. While its unlikely you’ll ever get to drive one in real life, you can now drive it virtually with the release of a new Alpine Stars DLC pack for Forza Horizon 3.

The 2017 NSX features a three-motor, 573 horsepower, twin-turbocharged Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive powertrain. Produced exclusively at the Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio, the Acura NSX is the only supercar manufactured in America.

The Acura NSX took out this year’s award largely thanks to its unique driving experience. Road & Track says,

“For the first time in a hybrid automobile of any price or capability, technology has been placed firmly in the service of emotional involvement rather than in place of it.”

The magazine goes on to say,

“Everything about the car—from the way in which the brake-by-wire pedal lengthens its travel when the brakes are hot to the manner in which the mid-mounted V-6 permits itself a bit of the ol’ barbaric yawp when it’s winding out in fourth gear—is intended to enhance the driver’s involvement.”

The MSRP of the tested 2017 Acura NSX was US$201,160, but without all the options starts at US$156,000.
